wattimize is paid on what optimisation generates above the client’s reference. No gain, no share.
A fixed-fee model pays the same whether the asset earns more or less. A sharing model pays for what was added. The difference is not commercial, it is about incentives: it determines where effort goes on the difficult days.
We only earn when the asset earns more than it would without us.
Sharing applies to what optimisation generates above a reference agreed with the client before the start. The reference is defined in the contract, computed on public market data, and is not changed during the period.
Every month the client receives what was offered in each market, what was activated, the conversion coefficients applied and the date of the last recalibration, and the settlement. Exclusions, where they exist, are declared and counted.
Market prices are public. The aim is that the client can reconstruct the result without asking us for anything.
Sharing percentages, minimums and durations depend on the asset, the production profile and the contractual arrangements in force, and are dealt with in a proposal. This page describes the principle, not the price.
We process the plant’s history, separating the weather effect from the dispatch effect, and quantify the result.
